In 1962 in London, Daniel Spoerri and Robert Filliou organize The Festival of Misfits, an exhibition about nine Fluxus-related artists. Gustav Metzger's proposition is to exhibit the edition of The Daily Express every day: this proposition is rejected by the organizers. Therefore, Daily Express is the unveiling of a work conceived by the artist but never achieved.
